Biography
Murray D. Evans - guitar, harmonica, lead vocals
A guitar-picking satirist; a globetrotting beatnik; a jam session taskmaster with a limitless repertoire; a post-modern renaissance man in a dusty pinstripe suit…
In the past dozen plus years, this longtime hero of the Manitoba folk scene toured much of Canada and the US as a solo artist (opening for the likes of Loudon Wainwright and Taj Mahal) and released two solo albums. He later fronted the folk-rock consort, the Armchair Radicals, which released the critically acclaimed record "Here Comes the King". This is the same band that, during a live network CBC radio interview, challenged Blue Rodeo to a pound-for-pound food eating contest - for reasons better left unexamined.
Be it internet love affairs, gory sensationalism in the media, or the dreary pathos of small town life, his deadly sharp writer's eye leaves no weirdo unskewered. Any questions regarding antique books, mixing the perfect Manhattan, or Dean Martin's little known "Brandon connection" will be answered confidentially.
